Concluding our Lumines Arise demo session on a couch in the middle of a crowded venue, it takes a few seconds to remember where we are, as we readjust to a reality that is not dictated by falling blocks and pounding rhythms. For the past 15 minutes, we have been utterly spellbound. It won’t surprise anyone to learn that this effect was achieved by Enhance, the studio founded by Rez designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi.
